Scientists headed by a team at the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub San Francisco (CZ Biohub SF) reported on the development of Zebrahub, a dynamic, state-of-the-art atlas of zebrafish embryonic development.

When early cartographers undertook perilous expeditions to map unknown corners of the world with sextants, compasses, and hand-drawn diagrams, it’s unlikely they imagined that someday anyone with an ...

How does a tiny cluster of cells become an embryo with a head, trunk, and tail? And how do thousands of genes coordinate this development? A new imaging method makes it possible to visualize the ...

Zebrafish eggs contain a sunscreen called gadusol that protects the growing embryo from harmful rays. The ultraviolet rays in sunlight are damaging. To shield against this, vertebrates produce a ...

Congenital heart defects (CHD) occur in 1 in every 100 babies born daily in the United States of America. Although CHD can be surgically repaired, it has been shown to complicate heart health with ...

A question left unanswered in a biologist’s lab notebook for 40 years has finally been explained, thanks to a little fish that couldn’t wriggle its tail. New research from the University of Oregon ...

Cell division during the early stage of embryo development is a trade-off between speed and accuracy; the cells need to ...

Researchers have pinpointed a critical stage in zebrafish embryo development when cells become more resilient to disruptions in division. Using a light-activated tool to block the CENP-E protein, the ...
